Build failure

[avigne]

I downloaded JBoss using my cvs client (under RedHat 8.0) :
export -p CVSROOT=:pserver:[e-mail]:/cvsroot/jboss
cvs -z3 checkout jboss-all

When I try to build JBoss :
cd jboss-all
./build/build.sh

I have the following failure :

....
==============================================================
==
== Executing 'most' in module 'common'...
==
==

configure-modules:
Overriding previous definition of reference to jboss.naming.classpath

BUILD FAILED
file:/usr/sw/JBoss/jboss-all/common/build.xml:118: Could not create task or type of type: jmxdoclet.

Ant could not find the task or a class this task relies upon.

This is because the jar file (where JMXDoclet is defined) is not found. You will see this if you use "build/build.sh -verbose"

To fix the problem, You can change the build/local.properties file as follows:

xdoclet.xdoclet.root=${project.root}/thirdparty/xdoclet/xdoclet

You might have change the root dir similarly for other root definitions ( jdom.root=${project.thirdparty}/jdom/beta-7, etc)
in tools/etc/buildfragments/libraries.ent

Right, it looks like my CVS checkout failed in the middle of getting the thirdparty libraries - hence the missing files.

Sorry for the bother...
